Rebel soldiers with the Forces Armees Nationales Chadiennes (FANT), or National Army of Chad, rest in the Djagaraba oasis near the Sudanese frontier following the fighting between Idriss Deby's partisans and Hissen Habre's troops. Lead by Deby, the Chadian Chief of Staff, the FANT rebellion seized power from head of state Hissen Habre in a French- and Libyan-backed military coup. Deby later won the first multi-party Chadian presidential vote in 1996.
